Discription:

"

"At the dawn of the Millenium, the nation collapsed. At 15% unemployment, 10 million were out of work, 800,000 students
boycotted school. The adults lost confidence, and fearing the youth, eventually passed the 'Millenium Educational Reform Act'...AKA:
The BR Act." - opening graphics introduction to Battle Royale

Battle Royale, a film by the veteran Japanese director Kinji Fukasaku, tells the story of a dystopic future
in which each year, a randomly-selected 9th grade class is kidnapped and sent to a deserted island where they are equipped
with weapons and are forced to kill each other until one survivor is left. The movie, which premiered in Japan on December
16, 2000 amidst much controversy, is based on a bestselling novel by Koushun Takami.

A volunteer home care worker, Nishina Rika (Megumi Okina), enters the home of a bed-ridden patient and discovers a strange
ghostly presence lurking behind a door sealed with duct tape. Her discovery unleashes a horrible evil which baffles police
investigators, who find that a whole series of people have gone missing from this particular house. Further investigation
leads to Izutni Toyama (Misa Uehara), a former detective who handled the case of a man who murdered his wife in the house,
but whose son was never found. But when the angry "Ju-On" spirit of vengence that has infected the house reaches beyond it's
boundries to kill Toyama and his daughter, Rika realizes that the horror is spreading. Worse, unless something is done about
it, she feels she may be the angry spirit's next victim.

The entire planet was divided between two opposing alliances. After fifty years of bitter warfare, the Greater Eastern
Federation triumphs over the forces of Europa and gains dominion over the Eurasian continent.

However, this is an empty victory. Years of chemical, biological and nuclear war have poisoned the land and left an exhausted
population at the mercy of every pestilence and newly-mutated disease.

It seems that there's little hope for humanity's future. Debate rages over the chances of finding some way to stave off
the seemingly-inevitable decline of civilization.

One man comes forward with a possible solution. Dr. Azuma is a geneticist who proposes a "neo-cell" treatment that can
rejuvenate the body and regenerate humankind. He's driven in his studies by a desire to save his beloved wife, Midori, from
the ravages of pollution-related disease.

He appeals for funding to the government but the politicians in the Health Ministry turn him down, fearing that the new
technology will threaten their entrenched powers.

However, a sinister faction in the powerful military makes a secret offer to provide the support he needs to further his
research.

When an incident occurs in the lab that sends the Professor's "neo-cell" cloning experiment haywire, a race of mutant human
beings (Shinzo Ningen) is unleashed upon the world.

Instead of being the savior of mankind, the Professor's miraculous technology looks set to threaten its very existence...
